In 1179 the settlement was mentioned for the first time in the Michelfeld Monastery . It was one of the 18 forest huts that used to manage the Veldenstein Forest. The name comes from the former witness Otto de Hainbrunnen. One of the oldest preserved properties is the Hainbronner Mühle. It is believed that it was initially built as a monastery in 1618, which can still be recognized from the name of the adjacent street, Zechthof ( Zehnthof ).

In 1828 there were 38 houses with a total of 216 inhabitants and a schoolhouse in the village . In 1876, after several major fires, the volunteer fire brigade was founded.
